Instrumental is the first beat I ever made in 2012 with Garageband and Audacity. Forgive me if it's not in time or whatever. The original project file is lost to time, so I just have the mixed down mp3, but I'll be recreating it or making a new beat for the song soon. :)
Lyrics written last year / vocals recorded today.

Lyrics:
you think you have freedom
but thinking you’re free is dumb
but everyone knows
you’re free to be dumb
you think when you say jump
that I’ll ask how high
But I won't obey
Or buy into the lie
the system is rusted
like it’s never been oiled
throw my hands up in the air
and my lunch in the toilet
I’m sick of this shit
fix it or just quit
I’m sick of being
split down the middle
of all this
the split
Lemme just address this
what I meant
There's way more to it
I know that you know
You're all gonna die too
We're all being lied to
Divided in two
They controlling us
Keeping us all fightin
some of us cryin
Yeah Some of us cryin
While others out dyin
then some got lucky
In the studio rhymin
Backed by the dime
Caught up with the times
Don't gotta commit crimes
for some people
no matter how hard
or how many times they try
they’ll never know what
it feels like to fly
they work and they work
til the day they fuckin die
you think you have freedom
but thinkin you’re free is dumb
but everyone knows
you’re free to be dumb
everything about it
makes me so numb
We’re satisfied with settling
for trickling crumbs
from the man makin 20 times
your income
who also controls when you
start and when you’re done
if it makes you wanna break
you’re not the only one
there’s nobody alive
who thinks this shit is fun
my job’s to point out
the problem not solve it
I’m just a musician
what do you want from me
to treat this song
like a conflict and resolve it
